Indiana Jones 4 premiers
July 6, 2007 - 10:12am — Brandon
05/22/2008 - 1:00am 05/22/2008 - 12:59pm Etc/GMT-5 The newest adventure of intrepid, globetrotting archeologist Indiana Jones doesn’t have a title yet, but it does have a premier date – May 22. Let’s hope George Lucas and Steven Spielberg don’t tarnish my childhood memories of one of the greatest characters of all time. |

It hasn’t been officially...
Back to page topIt hasn’t been officially announced, but I’d be willing to place a small wager on the idea of an Indiana Jones preview debuting during the Super Bowl on Sunday. I hope so, because it would almost make up for the fact that the Packers aren’t playing.

Back to page topLucas didn't mess up "Star Wars" enough for me to stop being a fan. I doubt he could mess up "Indy," since he actually likes that movie series.

Back to page topI’m still a fan, too, but I choose to think of the movie series as only New Hope, Empire, and Jedi. No Indy preview this weekend, though, so I’m a little bummed.

Back to page top"Since he actually likes that movie series?"
Are you saying that George Lucas didn't like his Star Wars series? I doubt that.
The Indy movie has a name, "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull." Should be seeing previews soon.
Also, one of the entertainment magazines had a story and interviews with Harrison Ford, Lucas and Spielberg on the set, with a few photos. Provided soem intersting things and piqued my interest. Can't wait to see it. It has a few movie thoughts in it, but isn't a real spoiler. If you don't want to know anything, don't read it. If you do, I suggest reading it.
One of my favorite quotes from the story went something like this from Spielberg or Lucas, "I know the critics are going to hate it. They already hate it." and they haven't seen it yet. Interesting.
I don't necessarily like movie critics, and thusly don't like movie awards shows most times. It isn't all about artistic perfection. Sometimes you just want to shut your brain off for a few hours and watch a movie that captures you. I am OK with "audience movies." I tend to lead to those types.
